Cookies for Breakfast

Over the past several days, Allison has come to a decision that she does not like breakfast any more.  This is odd.  I used to get her out of her crib in the mornings and immediately rush her to her highchair for breakfast.  Well, now when I get her, she immediately asks for "Mo."  "Mo" is Allison language for Elmo.  The first few mornings I just talked to her about Elmo and took her to the kitchen.  She then proceeded to kick, refuse to sit and scream "Mo! Mo! MOOOOOOOO!"  in a very pitiful voice.  So what did this tough, no nonsense mother do?  I let her watch Elmo and worry about breakfast later.  I know, I know, probably the wrong thing, but  oh well.  Well, this morning, I did an even worse thing....

I found this precious cookie on a stick in the Wal Mart Easter isle.

So cute and can you believe this?  It was only $1.00!  Unfortunately, after tasting it, I really do not even think it was worth that, but whatever, it's cute.  I bought the cookie for Allison as an Easter treat at some point.  This morning as she was yelling for "Mo!" and crying inconsolably, I thought, "Why not?"  I pulled out this cute cookie and she decided she would sit in her chair.  I know what you are thinking...bribery, sugar, poor nutritional values, etc.  But honestly, typically she has fruit and an English muffin or cereal and yogurt.  A cookie on a stick can not be that much worse than a Krispy Kreme donut, right?  Everyone has a treat once in a while! Needless to say, she ate part of it.  I took a little taste and I venture to say that disgusting  is probably too kind for the taste, but Allison loved it and that's all that mattered! Plus, it's a pre-packaged cookie...it might have been on the shelf for a while!

See?  I did sneak a banana on her tray!  Back to the healthy stuff tomorrow!
